What I Wore: Sea of Blue

What I Wore: Sea of Blue

I absolutely think this skirt might be the best purchase of Sunday's thrift excursion. I just love it, it sways, and is so light and airy. I have no skirt like this I'm sure it's going to be a summer staple!

And oh! The beautiful Wangari sent me the most amazing care package including this amazing owl ring!! It hasn't left it's perch from my finger since I got it!! I love it!! Squee! I needed rings and she bought me some, and two pairs of socks, and a headband, and a little advertisement... And the same day I got a card from my mommy with a picture of Tripp on an ottoman! haha!! I also got to hang out with my college friends Mike and Morgan who live in Pittsburg now... amazingly Morgan's pregnant! She's my first friend to be having a baby and I'm so excited for the two of them!! It's a girl! Yay! Great day all around!

Thrifting Help?!

Thrifting Help?!

On Monday Jen and I went thrifting after work mainly because I am creating a vignette in my store front for an event the Michigan Design Center is having. I decided to do it on Friday and most designers have had months to prepare for their vignettes I have two weekends. And I'm not an interior designer... What have I gotten myself into? Oh well it's been fun and kinda overwhelming but I think I'm going to have a cute table/room setting. So wish me luck! And I'll probably be a little MIA because I'm just wearing comfy clothes at work because I'm re-hanging the gallery, setting up the vignette, and painting two showrooms... Gah!

On our thrifting adventures I found this dress. I was drawn to it's pattern, and then saw how they sewed the pleats to hide the star stripes so then when you walked or twirled you saw stars! And it was a blue tag so it was half off! I haven't been thrifting for clothes in so long, I will have to get back into it. But lookie it has stars all over it!! How cute, and it fits me quite well in the waist. The shoulders are a little big and of course I'm getting rid of the shoulder pads. But what else do I need to do? I was thinking maybe creating a scoop neck or square neck, maybe shortening the sleeves and skirt. What do you think? I need you! and please excuse the iPhone shots.

What do you think I should do?
